Let's Paint an Angel

These paintings were from a lesson named lets paint and angel.

They began as flower petals and then we turn them into an angel.

This last one was the first one I did. The paper would not support re-wetting previous paint to meld it with new layers. So I painted the two above on different papers, which was much more successful in that regard.

 I find it interesting to do one lesson a few times to see how each one is different. How new inspiration rises. How new ideas unfold.

AC: ritual and routines

daily

she sent out love, joy and goodness

to the world

a heartfelt routine

~

I enjoy my routines and rituals. 

Something easy/graceful about falling into rountines. 

Sometimes I move a waste basket to another spot, it takes days to 

fall into the habit of the new spot, often tossing trash in the wrong place. 

So I also like changing routines, simply to be more present. 

I thought this painting would be about the waste basket

but 

the drawing had a different idea. 

Love when that happens.
